Stephanie Valentin: Closer - Art Collector

What does it mean when something you cannot see, or perhaps you didn’t even know existed, disappears forever? Stephanie Valentin’s current exhibition Closer responds to this enigma, bringing the perpetually overlooked up close into a memorable encounter.

Valentin’s new work continues to explore an ongoing interest in the human relationship to the natural world and the ecological effects of climate change. Through her unorthodox use of the electron microscope, the images magnify small and fragile insects up close to the scale of our own bodies.
